Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of base oils as extender oils in elastomer production.
  • the invention relates to the use of gas-to-liquid (GTL) derived base oils as elastomer extender oils.
  • GTL gas-to-liquid
  • High viscosity base oils derived from GTL synthesis often show a hazy appearance that is typically due to the presence of a small quantity of microcrystalline wax particles.
  • elastomer extender oils There has been a desire in the art to assume that such oils are unsuitable some applications including use as elastomer extender oils.
  • this conventional view is particularly entrenched with regards to oils with a high viscosity and high pour point.
  • US2009/203835 describes a process to prepare a blend of a mineral derived residual and de-asphalted oil component, the blend as obtainable, a cylinder oil composition comprising said oil blend, and to the use of the oil blend as a process oil for various processes.
  • WO2010/125144 describes functional fluid compositions which are useful as hydraulic fluids and shock absorber fluids and which have improved seal swell properties.
  • WO2010/094681 describes the use of a lubricating composition comprising a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil and one or more additives for particular use in the crankcase of an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engines such as a heavy duty diesel engine.
  • WO-A-2005/063940 describes a process for the preparation of a Fischer-Tropsch wax derived haze free base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of greater than 10 cSt.
  • WO-A-2005/063940 includes additional processing intended to reduce the wax content of a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product that has been subjected to hydroisomerisation (catalytic cracking) and distillation to remove lighter fuel products by undertaking additional hydroisomerisation and solvent dewaxing steps.
  • WO-A-03033622 describes a process wherein a haze free base oil is prepared from a Fischer-Tropsch product by removing the heaviest fraction, containing the haze precursors, by a deep-cut distillation performed at a cut-off temperature of between 1150 and 1350° F. (621-732° C.). This is not only a technically difficult distillation step it also removes valuable heavy base oil molecules in addition to the haze precursors.
  • a disadvantage of the processes described in the art is that the processing of Fischer Tropsch synthesis products is extended considerably in order to produce conventional haze-free clear and bright base oils that are regarded as suitable for use, for example, as elastomer extender oils and in particular as extender oils for synthetic rubbers.
  • the cost of production of GTL-derived base oils can be relatively high rendering them less suitable for use as extender oils compared to mineral oil equivalents.
  • Elastomer extender oil compositions are added to natural and synthetic elastomers, including rubbers, for a number of reasons, for example to reduce the mixing temperature required during processing and to prevent the scorching of the rubber polymer when it is being ground, to decrease the viscosity of the rubber to improve the general workability of the rubber compound, to aid in the dispersion of fillers, as well as to modify the physical properties of the rubber compound.
  • GTL-derived base oils comprising haze components can be used as extender oils in production of elastomers without the need to first remove the haze components.
  • elastomers comprising the GTL-derived base oils as extenders, and that have not been subjected to haze-removal are not inferior to comparative elastomers comprising bright stock base oils and is some cases will perform better.
  • the invention provides an elastomer composition that comprises GTL-derived base oil, which GTL-derived base oil has not been subjected to a process for the removal of haze components.
  • the GTL-derived base oil comprises a Fischer Tropsch synthesis product.
  • an elastomer composition comprising at least one elastomer component, and a GTL-derived extender oil, wherein the GTL-derived extender oil has not been treated to remove haze components.
  • the base oil comprises a wax component that is present in the range of from at least about 0.001 wt % to at most about 5 wt %, typically at most about 1 wt %, suitably at most no more than 0.1 wt % based on the total weight of the base oil.
  • the GTL-derived extender oil comprises a GTL-derived base oil that includes at least some paraffinic wax content—i.e. sufficient microcrystalline wax content to render the appearance of the base oil at least partially opaque (hazy) at room temperature and pressure.
  • an elastomer composition comprising:
  • a further aspect of the invention provides for a process for the manufacture of an elastomer composition
  • a process for the manufacture of an elastomer composition comprising combining at least one elastomer, elastomer component, or a mixture thereof with an extender oil, the extender oil comprising a GTL-derived base oil that includes a haze-causing paraffinic microcrystalline wax content, the extender oil present in the range of from at least about 0.1 wt % to at most about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the elastomer composition, suitably at least about 5 wt % and at most around 20 wt %, more suitably up to at least 15 wt %.
  • the extender oil may be included at a relative amount of at least 0.2 to at most 100 parts per hundred of rubber (PHR).
  • the GTL-derived base oil as used in the invention can be a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product obtained by well-known processes, for example the so-called Sasol process, the Shell Middle Distillate Process or by the ExxonMobil “AGC-21” process. These and other processes are for example described in more detail in EP-A-776959, EP-A-668342, U.S. Pat. No. 4,943,672, U.S. Pat. No. 5,059,299, WO-A-9934917 and WO-A-9920720.
  • the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product comprises at least 30 wt %, preferably at least 50 wt %, and more preferably at least 55 wt % of compounds having at least 30 carbon atoms. Furthermore the weight ratio of compounds having at least 60 or more carbon atoms and compounds having at least 30 carbon atoms of the Fischer-Tropsch product is at least 0.2, preferably at least 0.4 and more preferably at least 0.55.
  • the Fischer-Tropsch product comprises a C 20 + fraction having an ASF-alpha value (Anderson-Schulz-Flory chain growth factor) of at least 0.925, preferably at least 0.935, more preferably at least 0.945, even more preferably at least 0.955.
  • ASF-alpha value Anderson-Schulz-Flory chain growth factor
  • the initial boiling point of the Fischer-Tropsch product may range up to 400° C., but is preferably below 200° C.
  • any compounds having 4 or less carbon atoms and any compounds having a boiling point in that range are separated from a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product before the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product is used in said hydroisomerisation step.
  • Such a Fischer-Tropsch product can be obtained by any process, which yields a relatively heavy Fischer-Tropsch product. However, not all Fischer-Tropsch processes yield such a heavy product.

  • the feed as used above in the definition is the total hydrocarbon feed fed to the hydroisomerisation, thus also any optional recycle step.
  • One or more distillate separations may be performed on the effluent of the hydroisomerisation reaction to obtain at least one middle distillate fuel fraction and heavier hydrocarbon bottoms referred to as the residue.
  • the residue as obtained in such a distillation is optionally subjected to a further distillation performed at near vacuum conditions.

The mixture is subsequently filtered at ⁇ 20° C. The wax is thoroughly washed with cold solvent, removed from the filter, dried and weighed.

  • the mol % of branched paraffins is the total of these individual percentages.
  • This method calculated the mol % in the wax of an average molecule having only one branch. In reality paraffin molecules having more than one branch may be present. Thus the content of branched paraffins determined by different method may result in a different value.
